Wellesley Pride!!!... Mascot?

So, I'm REALLYYY excited to be attending Wellesley in the fall, and having been a varsity cheerleader throughout high school I have this thing about school spirit... I really love it. =] So, I was just wondering... does Wellesley have a mascot? I just haven't heard anything about one.

Replies to: Wellesley Pride!!!... Mascot?

My understanding is that Wellesley is not a rah-rah kind of school, but the athletes really enjoy what they are doing and quite a few people participate in all sorts of club and varsity sports. The school pride is definitely there, but it is not in your face.

May be you can come up with a mascot and petition the administration? When we were at Scripps, I noticed quite a few items with squirrels in the college's bookstore. When I asked if that was the mascot, the girls told me that the official mascot was the Athenas, but the students really liked their furry campus critters and adopted them as the not-so-official one.
